Voluntary Airport Low Emissions Program (VALE). Funding is dependent upon projects approved. VALE improves airport air quality and provides air quality credits for future airport development. Through VALE, airport sponsors can use Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funds and Passenger Facility Charges (PFCs) to finance low emission vehicles, refueling and recharging stations, gate electrification, and other airport air quality improvements.

Zero-Emission Freight and Marine Program. Total funding is $35,000,000. The ZEF&M Program is designed to mitigate excess NOx emissions, reduce pollution in disadvantaged and low-income communities, support advanced technology vehicle and equipment deployments, and accelerate the zero-emission transformation in the heavy-duty freight and marine sectors.

Seeding Critical Advances for Leading Energy Technologies with Untapped Potential 2019 (SCALEUP). Total funding is $60,000,000 with maximum awards of $20M. The solicitation provides a vital mechanism for the support of innovative energy R&D that complements ARPA-E’s primary R&D focus on early-stage transformational energy technologies that still require proof-of-concept.

2020 Sustainable Groundwater Management Watershed Coordinator Grant Program. Total funding is $1,500,000 with maximum awards of $300K. The program has funds for watershed coordinator positions to facilitate watershed-scale collaborations, promote integrated water management efforts, and support local implementation activities focused on areas in the state significantly impacted by SGMA implementation.

WaterSMART Drought Response Program: Drought Resiliency Projects for Fiscal Years 2020 and 2021. Total funding is $1,500,000 with maximum awards of $500K-$1.5M, depending on project size. Drought Resiliency Projects will increase the reliability of water supplies, improve water management, and provide benefits for fish, wildlife, and the environment to mitigate impacts caused by drought.

WaterSMART Grants: Water and Energy Efficiency Grants for Fiscal Year 2021. Total funding is $2,000,000 with maximum awards of $500K-$2M, depending on project size. WaterSMART grants supports increasing water supplies, leveraging science and technology to improve water supply reliability, addressing ongoing drought, and improving water supplies for tribal and rural communities.
